Promotes dialogue, collaboration and innovation concerning interoperability and standards harmonization within the EDM community.

Hydrology Domain Working Group Provide a venue and mechanism for seeking technical and institutional solutions to the challenge of describing and exchanging data describing the state and location of water resources, both above and below the ground surface. Coordination with WMO (c) 2012 Open Geospatial Consortium

Meteorology/Oceans DWG The OGC Meteorology and Oceanography DWG provides an open forum for work on meteorological and oceanographic data interoperability and a process to publish and revise OGC Best Practices and Standards thence giving a route for submission to WMO CBS for adoption.

Toward a Health DWG Health related outcomes from previous OWS phases OGC Standards and Domain WGs (cross-pollination) OGC implementations in different regions (e.g. INSPIRE) Multiple Drivers exist at global, national, sub-national scales & varying time scales Policies for Health SDI and Data Standards vary by country/region Common barriers, needs, drivers continue to be identified Scientific research can inform, or depends upon, open map standards A wide range of health-related applications continue to be identified No existing platform for development of geospatial data standards in the public health domain; No existing international health-oriented SDI Draft Health DWG Charter introduced: OGC Doc. Number: 13-009 GovFuture Webinar well received: Serving Public Health through Open Health Mapping Services, is available here: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/803074466

Draft Health DWG Charter An OGC Health Domain Working Group would enable the identification and prioritization of use cases, business and technical requirements that will provide the most significant value, or mitigate the most significant risks in the public health arena. The suggested format for an OGC Health Domain Working Group is Public i.e. open to OGC members and non-members. This will enhance the opportunity for health sector, government agencies, and geospatial community to collaborate in: 1. User and Technical requirements gathering 2. Informing the development of standards 3. Facilitating exchange of knowledge, best practices 4. Demonstration through interoperability projects 5. Implementation of interoperable technical solutions Draft Charter for a Health DWG (Doc Ref #: 13-009 https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=52042&version=1)

Potential Health DWG Role / Functions: Convene OGC members and non-members in public health domain Build Capacity for technical solutions, knowledge exchange, requirements gathering and prioritization Assimilate Inputs toward geospatial standards development, including data definitions, formats, and services for publishing, discovery, exchange, protection and queryability of geospatial information Spawn Demonstration Projects, Interoperability Experiments, and Interoperability Pilots Educate and Inform Public Health communities-of-practice Other?:

Monitor trends in chronic illness and infectious disease with WPS, WFS, WMS Time series pandemic surveillance with time-tag in WMS Model Climate Change and Health Impacts for Risk Assessment Prevention, Alerting, Response, Recovery Public education, resource planning (including vaccination campaigns) with WMS Assess Vulnerable Populations / Zones

Statement of Needs / Strategic Objectives Address interoperability requirements e.g. support more effective health surveillance using open mapping standards to access distributed geospatial data pertaining to disease, disease vectors and vulnerable communities / populations. Support collaborative research into cumulative, synergistic, non-linear impacts to public health, for risk assessment and reduction Develop and support communication strategies and market research, including for take-to-market of OGC standards / OGC-compliant technologies which serve the health marketplace Support Policy, Research, Education including development of policy, research, best practices, and education in the use of open mapping standards to monitor trends and changes in public health, for risk identification, communication, and disease prevention. Support Cross-Border Surveillance initiatives including modeling, exercising, responding to cross-border health risks Advance best practices for visualization of Chronic and Infectious Diseases using open mapping standards including to support epidemiology, surveillance, control, treatment, prevention, and education activities Advance best practices for Public Health Management and Cost Reduction using open mapping standards including resource allocation for health emergencies, to protect vulnerable populations, and in response to changing geo-demographics Advance best practices for Adapting to Climate Change Impacts to Public Health using open mapping standards including modeling of climate impacts on public health, risk assessment and reduction (e.g. to heat events, reduced air quality, vector borne disease, floods, drought, fire, extreme weather, changes in food production and water quality, social impacts of displacement and exposure of vulnerable populations). This includes supporting efforts to standardize interoperable interfaces for health and climate models at a scale appropriate to decision making (regional and temporal) while protecting privacy of personal health information.
